One of my beautiful friends once told me: “For all the zeros in the world, if there’s no 1 in the front, we have nothing”.
It’s a metaphor for life- for all the accolades, accomplishments, goal kicking and list crossing, if we don’t have our physical health and emotional wellbeing, we really have nothing.
You come before everyone else. Listen to your body and feel into your energy levels and emotions. Give yourself the time and space you deserve to envelope yourself in a cocoon of tears if you’re feeling overwhelmed; to say no if you’re completely exhausted or to disappear into a forest for ten minutes if you just need to reset 🙂
Do something every day (no matter how tiny) to remind your soul that you give a sh!t about you— because hey man, Loreal’s right: you’re worth it 🙂
Giddy up lovelies, happy Melbourne Cup!
